Pressure Conversion FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting between kg/cm², Bar, and other pressure units.
kg/cm² (kilogram-force per square centimeter) is a metric unit of pressure based on gravitational force, often used in older engineering contexts. Bar is a metric unit defined as exactly 100,000 Pascals. 1 kg/cm² is approximately equal to 0.980665 Bar.
To convert kg/cm² to Bar, multiply the pressure value by 0.980665. For example, 10 kg/cm² × 0.980665 = 9.80665 Bar. You can also use our free calculator above for instant and accurate conversions.
No, they are different units. kg/cm² is a metric unit, while PSI (pounds per square inch) is an imperial unit. 1 kg/cm² is approximately equal to 14.223 PSI. PSI is commonly used in the US and UK for tire pressure and scuba diving.
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is defined as 1 atm, which is exactly equal to 1.01325 Bar. This is the baseline pressure used in many scientific and engineering calculations.
kg/cm² is often used in hydraulic systems, material strength testing, and some Asian countries. Bar is widely used globally in meteorology (millibar), automotive industries (tire pressure), and industrial manufacturing due to its simple relationship with Pascals.
